2. Open up ‘My Computer’ and under ‘Devices With Removable Storage’, double click and open apple iPod.

3. Click on ‘Tools’ at the top of the window and drag down to ‘Folder Options’.

4. Under the ‘View’ tab, find the subfolder called ‘Hidden files and folders’.

5. Select the option ‘Show hidden files and folders’.

6. Click ‘OK’.

7. Double click on the newly shown ‘iPod_Control’ folder and open up the folder called ‘Music’. These folders are named randomly and your music is impossible to find individually.

8. Select all the folders and copy them to a new folder on your hard drive. You are now done with your iPod. Eject it if you wish.

9. Open up iTunes. In the new folder you created, open up each individual folder labeled ‘F##’ select all the music files in the folder and drag them into your library in iTunes. iTunes will already have the tags stored for these songs so renaming them should not be an issue.

10. Alternatively, Press F3 to enter search, and enter “*.mp3” (no quotes) to find all the MP3 files at once, then press CTRL+A to select all the found files then copy them to a folder on your computer. This way all the music files are in the same folder which makes it far more simple to import them into iTunes. (If any of your files are in MPEG4 format, you can search for “*.m*” to generate a list of all your songs.) (see Warning below)

Tips

* You can’t drag a whole folder into iTunes. It will not recognize the file tags and you will not know which song is which.
The detailed folder view in Windows XP will read the tags off of the mp3s and display the proper Artist, Title, and Album information. The columns should show up by default, but can be added if they do not. This may work for other versions of Windows (someone please verify).
* FYI: One more thing to note, If you have bought songs from itunes and the computer you are storing the songs on is not the computer you have purchased the songs from they will be copied but may not be played because of AAC format. This format is protected and may not be played on and other computer unless purchasing a licence which is the same price as the song in the first place

Warnings

If you follow the step #10, to copy all the songs at once, you may run into trouble if multiple songs in different ‘F##’ folders have been given the
same random name. For example, you may have several different songs given the same name ‘01Track01.m4a’. When you try to copy them all to the same
new folder on your computer, you will either not get all the songs from your iPod, or you will have to manually copy over all the duplicate named
ones into separate folders, which is very time-consuming. It may turn out to be faster to use the first method above (copying each F## folder to iTunes separately).

iPod to Computer Transfer has appeared for the aim that iPod users view iPod files in the computer completely. It instructs people to make copies of their treasured favorites. Users need to have a backup when they lose the files by accident. What’ more, the price is acceptable and absolutely worth it.

A reader points out a straightforward way for Windows users to transfer music from an iPod to your hard drive, without extra software:

1. Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
2. In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
3. In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check “Show hidden files and folders.”
4. Navigate to the Music folder. On my 2nd gen ‘pod, the full path is
Portable Media Devices\GINA’S IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
5. Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.

And you’re done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check “Keep iTunes Music Folder organized.”)

This is a good step by step buide, but for a small amoutn of money you can get some software that will make this really EASY - and will also transfer Photos, videos, podcasts, etc.My Favourite is MEDIAWIDGET it easy ipod transfer.
